This Week's Episode:
In this episode hosts Matt Long and Kevin Donville delve into the MOVE framework, focusing on the 'Opportunity' aspect. They discuss the importance of understanding budget, time, and power dynamics in the sales cycle, and how external factors like economic uncertainty can impact sales opportunities. The conversation emphasizes the need for sales professionals to identify red flags and mitigate challenges to ensure successful deal closures. Matt & Kevin explore how, in many circumstances, the buyer isn't even aware of the barriers to their purchase and need good solution advocates to help them navigate those threats.
